I made an application solo at a hackathon, of course I have used a lot of AI. This was hosted by Red thread Club, partnered with ALly Global, Lovable
This was an interesting one, the case was presented around 30 minutes before the hackathon begun, and we had 4 hours to finish it. Interestingly, I spent more than two hours just planning.
Like, firstly I took a good chunk of time understanding the aspects of the case presented, I did talk to Claude, Gemini, Grok and Chatgpt about the different ideas (Gemini 2.5 pro gave me the best idea for me to iterate)
then, i went on to choosing the tech stack, the data base, the way data flows, the areas of LLM integration, the prompt on which the LLM responds to, the UI, the presentation and demoing.
I divided the implementation into phases and watched cursor implement each phase and asking it a million questions as it is making the application.(i used Gemini 2.5 pro and Claude opus 4 as the models inside cursor)
For presentation, I just asked cursor to give me the summary of all the features that it has implemented in separate paragraphs, copied them and gave it to Gamma.
and it gave me 9 slides in under a minute, deleted a few slides for simplicity and called it a day.
